I use a Vosonic Xs II drive http://www.vosonic.com/, has a choice of Hard Disk size (10, 20, 40 etc Gb), I use 40 Gb. Does not have a view screen, but takes all card types. Just plug in card and turn on. Press the button to transfer all files from memory card. Uses rechargeable batteries, and has home and car charger. Also has the advantage of being an external 40Gb USB HD to transfer files between computers as the need arises. Jim Thyer (Victoria, Australia). Just rejoined the list after about 6 years absence. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pini Vollach" <pinimage@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students" <photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 2:11 AM Subject: RE: : Re: airlines & hand checks > What about a portable hard drive ? > Is it sensitive to any of the security devices ? > I intend to use it in my next travel. > The Idea is to use only one CF card ( 512 Mb ) and transfer the images at > the end of the day to > a SmartDisk FlashTrax hard drive. > Do I have to be careful of something ? > Pini > > _______________________ > Pini Vollach > http://www.pinimage.com
